    I reckon not at all, but that's mainly to promote my view that men and women are equal (ie- no better than each other).

    Hopefully this thread doesn't turn into a huge analysis of humans, both female and male, and compare them to each other to determine who is best. But really, it wouldn't make a difference, if every nation was governed by women from this day forward, we can't predict what will happen, and we can't condemn women for anything bad.

    Also, what the hell do you mean, men rule the world? I disagree with that, females are what bind me to my work. Without females, I'd probably go mad.

    I don't think that's possible. There's a reason men are in charge, and have been in charge. In order for women to have dominated it would require that the male is the one who gets pregnant, but then why call it a male?

    Again, what could we realistically predict? Sure, we might be able to create an image of the world differently than what we know from history, but what will that prove? It won't prove a single thing. Both human females and males have developed together, we all know that, it is the reason why we are here today, in fact, it is a requirement that we must have females and males working together so that we can continue what we do and advance our society.

    There isn't really much point to saying who should "rule the world", the way I look at it is, the world rules us, and we provide to the world, government and law are only there to establish and maintain idea's and help us grow.

    Um... women would be the ones abusing their power more than the men?

    That is to say, just switching the gender of who is in charge would probably just result in the same problem, just with the other gender. The ratio of the leaders abusing their power would probably be the same.

    Beyond that, we would probably have a history of assuming that someone is female (when considering who is holding a position) rather than male.
    At this point in history (today), we would still probably lean that way (as we still do), but still write largely in gender-neutral ways.

    Here's a better question, what if everybody in the world woke up with their gender swapped, and there was no way to reverse it?

    I would be a total slut.

    Imagine a world where a Cruel Matriarch rules the world, And everyday men are forced to go to the local general store to buy their spouse's various embarassing things only to come home and realize, They are not the ones who wear the pants in the relationship, Then when you think things couldn't get any worse she whips you and tells you straight up in your face, MAKE ME A SANDWICH BITCH. * Shutters *, Joking, I don't think it would change much either honestly.

    Well, all women (or now men) would probably kill themselves, and all men (now women) would touch and masturbate themselves to death, and the world would be saved from humanity.

    No way to tell if anything would be truly different other then who is in charge.

    Implying that women would be more or less competent at ruling then men are is indeed sexist.

    What did you think would happen? They would shower us in cosmo magazine and bad TV shows ? No they would run the world just like we all ready do.

    And you would think this unless of course you're sexist.

    To not acknowledge differences between men and women, physical as well as psychological, doesn't make you not sexist, it makes you blind.

    Obviously we're physically different. You could argue sexuality is one of the biggest parts of the human psyche but what you prefer to fuck is hardly an indicator of why an ENTIRE GENDER would act differently in a position of power then a man would. Cultural differences in raising male/female differently could account for your bullshit, but their capacity as leaders is not greater or diminished in any way.
